The SARS-CoV-2 IgG ELISA assay utilizes the SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein (N protein) as the antigen for the detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and has been tested against numerous cross-reactive viral species. Several hundred samples have been run on the assay from healthy blood donors, cross-reactive samples, positive COVID-19 patients, and negative COVID-19 patients. The N protein is one of the most abundant early-onset proteins of the virus, as well as being highly immunogenic and therefore a good candidate antigen for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Thus, it is a complementary technique to PCR, especially in those cases where PCR gives a negative result.
The Gold Standard Diagnostics Group takes a deliberate approach to assay development to ensure that performance and supply will meet our customer’s expectations.
